A Lodgeful Of Words

About the Book

A collection of poetry that explores human feelings of love, loss and anger. As well as having an adult perspective, there are poems written as through a child’s eyes. The reader might feel that they are actually IN a particular poem, as it taps into their own feelings and memories. The poems take the reader through a lifetime’s journey of experiences and emotions.
